Chelsea make the long trip to Yorkshire to face Leeds United at Elland Road on Wednesday night.
Enzo Maresca’s side have been in fine form of late and were unbeaten throughout November across all competitions, despite facing Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona and Arsenal during the month.
The West London side currently sit third in the Premier League table, but victory against the Whites would move them just a single point behind second-placed Manchester City.
Now, ahead of Wednesday evening’s match, it has emerged that Chelsea are one of several top Premier League clubs interested in a Wales international.
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have all joined the race to sign Cardiff City youngster Dylan Lawlor.
The 19-year-old central defender has been impressing for Brian Barry-Murphy’s side so far this term, making 15 appearances already across all competitions.

It is claimed that Manchester United, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are all also interested in the teenager.
Lawlor is a product of Cardiff’s youth system and has now featured 19 times for the Bluebirds at senior level, scoring his first goal in a 4-3 win against Leyton Orient in October.
His impressive form for Cardiff earned him a senior debut for Wales in September, and he has now been capped three times by Craig Bellamy’s side.
As well as significant interest from most of the top clubs in the English top flight, the report claims that Lawlor is also on the radar of several huge German clubs, including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig.
The Welshman is under contract in Cardiff until the summer of 2028, but it appears that the Bluebirds could face an extremely difficult task to keep hold of the player as several of Europe’s biggest sides circle.
